Stained glass window design

This project will develop students’ k/u of 2D design processes by using Clyde architecture as a starting point to create a unique stained glass window design to participate in a presentation to a Clyde developer, local designer, local authority personnel, local community and an exhibition at parents’ evening.

Broad Outcomes of learning

• Subject knowledge of design process gained and enhanced e.g. working to the constraints of the design brief (responsibility of meeting needs of others)
• Develop enterprise and employability skills: application of knowledge in a real situation by being able to follow a brief, by being in competition with others and by presenting finished design solution to whole class and a team of experts (selling your product also relates to selling oneself in an interview situation)
• Learners have developed enterprising skills identified as 4 capacities of CfE

Relevance to curriculum

• Supports CfE Art: students will work with the visual elements: line, shape, colour
• Relevance of how curriculum topic is relevant to work and life - everything that you see around has been through the design process
